Load a basic web scene

Explore in the sandboxView live

This sample demonstrates how to load a web scene from a Portal for ArcGIS item into a custom application. This scene illustrates the shadows cast by mountains surrounding Queenstown, Otago, New Zealand on the Winter Solstice (21, June 2014). Each line represents the edge of the shadows cast by surrounding mountains at particular times of the day.

Loading a web scene is easy. All that's required is the item ID of the WebScene item from the portal.

Create a new WebScene instance and set the portal item ID inside the portalItem property of the WebScene. Since WebScene extends esri/Map, you then set the web scene instance on the map property of the SceneView.

To reference an item from an on-premise portal, set the URL of the portal in esriConfig.portalUrl.
